Рассказ про беловежскую пущу на английском

Many many years ago there were a lot of forests in Europe. Many wild animals lived in the forests: bison, bears and large boars, foxes, elks and wolves. Beavers and big pikes lived in the rivers. The people who lived there began to turn forests into fields. But some of the forests were too big. People couldn’t turn them into fields. Belovezhskaya Pushcha was one of them. The greater part of Belovezhskaya Pushcha is in Belarus. The smaller part is in Poland. Its territory is about 79 hectares. There is a tower there near the town of Kamenets. The Russian prince Vladimir ordered his men to build it. They built it of white stone. They called the tower “vezha”.

The Pushcha is a reserve today. A lot of different animals and birds live in it. People look after them, give them food and protect them. The most famous animals of the Pushcha are bison. The animals there walk free. People can’t kill animals in the Pushcha.

Scientists work in the Pushcha all the time. They study the life of wild animals, birds and plants. They even give animals medicine. The Pushcha is a kind of a museum of natural history and a zoo. Many people visit the Pushcha and look at the animals. They also walk and rest in this beautiful forest.

Belovezhskaya Pushcha National Park (Russian:^[1][2][3] Национальный парк «Беловежская пуща», Belarusian: Нацыянальны парк Белавежская пушча) is a national park within parts of the Brest Region (Kamyanyets District and Pruzhany District) and Grodno Region (Svislach District) in Belarus adjacent to the Polish border. Since 1992 it is a preserved part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Białowieża Forest,^[4] the last primeval forest fragment of the European woodlands that once stretched across the European Plain. It is home to a large population of European bison, the continent’s heaviest land animals. The border between the two countries runs through the forest with the Białowieża National Park on the Polish side of the border. Since May 2015 there has been a visa-free regime within the forest for hikers and cyclists at the Pierarova-Białowieża border crossing.^[5]

HistoryEdit

Most of the Białowieża Forest was declared a national park on August 11, 1932 during the Second Polish Republic. After World War II the forest was divided in accordance with the Polish–Soviet border agreement of August 1945 between the People’s Republic of Poland and the Byelorussian SSR of the Soviet Union. Poland reopened the Białowieża National Park in 1947. In 1957, the Belarusian part received a new status — “The State Reserve-Hunting Farm” (Russian: Государственное заповедно-охотничье хозяйство), intended for recreation of the top leaders of the Soviet state and their guests from friendly countries. In 1991, the forest acquired its current status as a state national park.

The park’s headquarters are in Kamieniuki. In 2009 the Belovezhskaya Pushcha National Park celebrated the 600th anniversary of its reserve status. All of the hotels and cafes were rebuilt and new ones were added to the park. The Eco Education Center, which houses the Museum of Nature, was built. Approximately 300,000 people visit the park annually.^[9]
